RE: [PHP-WIN] Grabbing a Win2K username...

Hey Evan, Since you R using W2K, you could use the NTLM-Authentification, but it only works with M$-IE =8( If your company is only using M$-IE (yes, this could happen =8), then you can write me for further details.

Hey all, Here's sort of a weird off-the-wall question: Our network is primarily Win2K. Being in the purchasing department, I have created a form that will allow employees to fill out what they want and submit it, which then sends it as an email to their manager for approval. This takes a lot of work out of my hands since I don't have to run around anymore... The only problem is that they have to pull their name down from a menu, and this means that they could "spoof" names and give me a hassle... I have already thought about creating a log in script, but that takes away from the ease-of-use that I am striving for (lots of newbies here)... So, I was wondering if there was a way to grab the username of the user logged into that station, sort of along the lines of what "$REMOTE_ADDR" does... I can backtrack with an nslookup since this is a Linux machine, but it gives me the domain, not the username, and people tend to log into different computers from time to time, so that wouldn't work in determining who it is... If anyone has any idea of what I am talking about, please give me a heads up if this is possible or not... :-) Thanks for your time!
